Cognitive Keys in Psychophysical Estimation of Chemosensory Perception in University Students

Foods, 2021
Psychophysical methods allow us to measure the relationship between stimuli and sensory perception. Of these, Detection Threshold (DT) allows us to know the minimum concentration to produce taste identification. Given this, we wonder whether, for example,

Defining the Optimal Method for Measuring Metabolic Tumor Volume on Preoperative 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography as a Prognostic Predictor in Patients With Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
ObjectivesMetabolic tumor volume (MTV) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is a promising prognostic predictor in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

A novel approach for human whole transcriptome analysis based on absolute gene expression of microarray data [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background In spite of the emergence of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), microarrays remain in widespread use for gene expression analysis in the clinic. There are over 767,000 RNA microarrays from human samples in public repositories, which are an invaluable ...

Hydrometeorological threshold conditions for debris flow initiation in Norway [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012
Debris flows, triggered by extreme precipitation events and rapid snow melt, cause considerable damage to the Norwegian infrastructure every year. To define intensity-duration (ID) thresholds for debris flow initiation critical water supply conditions ...

Quantum channels and some absolute properties of quantum states [PDF]

Quantum Information Processing 23, 228 (2024), 2023
Environmental interactions are ubiquitous in any real-world application of a quantum information processing protocol. Such interactions result in depletion of quantum resources. Two important figure of merits in the context of quantum information are the fully entangled fraction (FEF) and conditional entropy of a composite quantum system. FEF has a key

Application of Individualized Speed Thresholds to Interpret Position Specific Running Demands in Elite Professional Rugby Union: A GPS Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
A number of studies have used GPS technology to categorise rugby union locomotive demands. However, the utility of the results of these studies is confounded by small sample sizes, sub-elite player status and the global application of absolute speed ...

Feasibility of radical cardiac‐sparing, treatment planning strategies for patients with locally advanced, non‐small cell lung cancer

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose A set of treatment planning strategies were designed and retrospectively implemented for locally advanced, non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in order to minimize cardiac dose without compromising target coverage goals. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for 20 NSCLC patients prescribed to 60–66 Gy that received a ...

MAD saccade: statistically robust saccade threshold estimation via the median absolute deviation

Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2020
Saccade detection is a critical step in the analysis of gaze data. A common method for saccade detection is to use a simple threshold for velocity or acceleration values, which can be estimated from the data using the mean and standard deviation. However,
